2k max, is my tranny slipping?

This is my problem. I just bought a new maxima about 3 to 4 weeks ago. Right away I changed the oil and ATF to amsoil. When I changed the ATF is was right at the perfect spot on the dipstick, so I left it alone. I can't really say how the car shifted at WOT before the change, but now the 1-2 shift feels like it hangs in gear to long. Well today i added a little more ATF, now it is at the high hot mark or a little over after a hard cruise. It feels like the tranny shifts a little smoother, but the delay is still there. What should I do, My car was built in July of 99. Thanks
